Steps

1

Be the active person and always remind yourself to give your sweetest smile to everyone. When it's the right place with the right person, you won't go far too wrong. Somehow, you can meet a new friend within seconds and the way you have to do is to praise them and give them a warm feeling like, you can praise their style or maybe their personality or whatever but no offenses!

2

Share your belongings. (Share your stuff is always a good start to get your friends to remind of the person like you who are constantly caring their feelings!) However, do not pressure yourself. If someone asks for something you really do not want to share, simply smile and refuse politely. There is no need to apologize, be impolite, or regret what you did.

3

Help the person who needs assistance! Don’t bother to say that you won’t have any reward after a lot of helping; you would have loads of influences and impressions after you've done so much work for them.

4

Think before you utter a word; don’t say discourteous words.

5

Show that you are a trusted person, do things for them that you are pleasure to do such as, inviting them for free lunches, help them sort out of problems, give some spaces for your friends, respect their opinions, give them chances.

6

Understand each of your friends’ personalities, some people might have different ways to communicate and don’t expect that you could get along with them just a little time, the best is that you could keep on contact with them, you could ask them to have their e-mail addresses or maybe their phone number and exchange with yours as well.

7

Know that some people are shy to talk and you could encourage them to social more by chatting with them, it works best if you have good equanimity, they would like you a lot as you changed their social lifestyle. Friends could learn from each other and you could be the key person.

8

Write letters or correspondence with a word ‘Dear’, it helps you to show your friends that you are keen on them and it’s really useful when you wanted to have the friendship developed faster.

9

Understand if you meet a friend, it might come up double or treble because if they like you, all of others friends’ friends would be coming forward to be your friend.

10

Be open minded and sociable – great way to build up the foundation of friendship, no matter short term or long term friends.

Tips

If you’ve tried to be your very best and the other people rejected you with rude manners, don’t be unhappy, you could always find others and don’t give a lot of hopes unless you think their personality are match with yours. Some people are edgy, tomboy style, girlish, classical... but remember think if that person suits you or else you would just end up lots of trouble towards your eyes.

It might be a hard time to have too much friends like ten or thirty and so on, don't spread all their secrets like their crushes or family business or else your friends would turned into enemies with you.

Friends are not really trusted sometimes, Even though you think this person is the best in the world but you still need to protect yourself,you is you and YOU <yourself> is the most trusted person, so remind yourself not to be too close with them and don’t tell all your deepest secrets. When two of you are too close like BFF's (best friends forever), if they are mad after you broke up with them, they might spread all your secrets throughout the world, no way to tell the most deepest secrets even though you met them for already ten years or some decades.

When you do all your best, that’s it, if your friend does not accept it, it’s not worth to cry for them to be your future friend. You must be brave in the way you think to prevent it when you are losing something, just remind yourself you don’t care and whatever they are, if you don’t put them in your heart, their positions won’t be much meaningful.

Girls are more complex and they’re not like boys and sometimes boys would tend to communicate in an obvious way but girls are secretly being in touch. It’s a very massive thing to do when you have to be friends like girls to girls. For example, gossiping, girls are really smart when they do things like the deal of having a new friend. They know what to do and sometimes no matter what, you can’t make them to burst out their thought in their mind. So remember, friends can be advantages and sometimes might be disadvantages. It’s very difficult to face it somehow, meaning everyone could have this terrible experience as well.

Think smart - even though you might think everyone could suits with you however some people might not be really fond to be your friend even you've tried to be very friendly to them. (Note: Your aim is not to have all your dreams’ friends, a lot more people that you could meet in the world around you, there are lots of choices, don’t err on a side if you are not successful for the first time, you would get lots of experiences when you meet different people in between time to time.)

Respect your friends! Show manner and admiration to your friends, then you won't get too hard with the friendship affair, I mean, they won't easily suspect you and they won't think you are a trusted person.

Warnings

Do not willing to be the main character in your gang, it makes them hate you more like having a teacher who always telling you guys what to do.

No offending or insulting your friend even though if they do wrong, it's really annoying in some cases.

Don’t try to change your friends’ personalities, or maybe control them the obsession you want them to do such as, don’t say that you only want he/r to be friends with you forever and ever or perhaps you want them to treat you like a princess/king. These are poor manners when you treat your friends like that. Friends could be helpful but not the way that you have to treat them like servants.

Never hurt your friends, for examples, you and your other pals having a plan that your other friends do not know. Make them feel welcoming and warm to be friends with you. It would be great if you do this occasionally.

No temping and hurt someone when you’re stressed with them, you could have another way such as think positive. For example, 'She/he is just having a bad mood as well; I shouldn't try to irritating them.' Give some space to your friends as I've already said.

Never leave other of your old friends alone if you have a lot of friends, they would be very jealous if you only spent the most of your time with one or two persons. Especially some special occasions like, parties or sleepovers, if you only choose the person you like the best, your friends would have bad impressions on you and they would be dislike you.

Never ignore or being mad for too long to each other - If it's really happened, there's no things to say, your friend is already trying to break the friendship with you. You just have to meet another friend.

Never have BFF with only a person, remember, team friends must be team work, if you decide to have BFFs in your life, you must invite them all to be your BFF or else they would be very upset. However, if you only want a BFF for your own, you can, but be careful not to tell your BFF about your other friends and when you with your BFF, you have to stop contacting with other friends and don't show your friends' photos and stuff like that, such as your mobile phone's contact numbers or maybe your friends' gifts, copy down your contact numbers in the other places that won't leave a clue for your BFF to find out. The main point is ' never have contact your friends with your BFF and they might gossiping all your things and be jealous.' BFF stands for (best friends forever) which means your tip top secret friend in the world.

Never be mad with your enemies, if you be active and be very nice to them, they would change their minds and it might came up positive and they might be your good friends.

No one is the same and no one could be trusted, if you feel that it is not right to be with your friend then Sometimes you might do things that are never wrong to another person like you friends, they might not do things that are make sense, for example, they might find that hurting you and watching you embarrassed or maybe spreading all your secrets like your crush or sch. (betraying) are the most entertaining hobby, well, if they are like that, watch out their moves. I know it's ridiculous...but yup seriously, this would be the accurate way to face the truth.
